FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, f
Chamber C hatter
B\ Claudia Hughes, E\ec. I>ir.
Veteran’s Dav Chamber u ill not be meeting on Nov
11, to allow everyone to attend the ceremony at Heritage
Plaza and the reception at John's Place How lucky we
are, how fortunate we've been that so many, many men
and women were w illing to tight for our freedom over the
years. And isn't it odd that thousands who get the day off
are not veterans, in fact, a number o f veterans have to work
on Veteran’s Day Go figure If you have veterans as your
employees, please consider giving them the day Both
Heppner High School and Heppner will be holding special
ceremonies for them on Wednesday and Thursday Choose
to attend; you won't be sorry Welcome home our National
Guard troops, on leave from training
One thing available to our young men and women
in the armed services today is email It makes the world a
little smaller, brings them closer In the years to come, it
will be interesting to see what may be a huge separation
between the email users and the non-email users Some o f
us will be left behind, some o f us will be in the forefront
and others will be questioning its value or not able to
function without it Ready or not, it's reality
Please heed some basic email warnings: 1) Ignore
unwanted spam email (don't reply even to unsubscribe).
2) Don’t reply to email requesting personal information.
3) Watch out for spoofed mail ’Spoofing” refers to
duplicating a legitimate email to trick you into downloading
a virus (When in doubt, contact the company by phone )
4) If you purchase anything from spam mail, you risk getting
on more junk email lists 5) Never contribute to a charity
by spam mail 6) Think twice before opening attachments,
even if you know the sender. ( If you are in doubt, run up-
to-date antivirus software ) 7) Don't forward chain email
messages They may be a hoax or a virus delivery system
and you lose control over who sees your email address
Bottom line, make sure you have updated virus protection
on both your business and home computer These tips were
provided by IDO’s Web Zone
Thought for the Week “You cannot do a kindness
too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late”

organization, which means that our reason for existing is
primarily focused on “being here’’ for the senior citizens’
use and health The needs of senior members o f South
Morrow County are given primary focus in its activities:

the Heppner Senior Citizens Endowment Fund, overseen
by a special committee, has been established This fund

Giving time to serve one or two terms on the board
